I have removed and reinstalled the drivers (several times)
I have removed and reinstalled the card (several times)
I have run the networking wizard many times
I am unable to ping the router on 192.168.0.1 or other PCs (range 100 - 104)Device manager says that the device is working properly, no problems or conflicts
I have 2 desktops and a laptop than can use the router, suggesting that the router is not the problem
I have swapped DLink PCI cards with my other new PC (virtually identical, same supplier, 2 weeks younger) - both cards work in one PC and neither works in my PC, suggesting that the card is not the problem
I have contacted DLink who emailed me their latest XP driver, which still does not work
I have moved the card into each of the three PCI slots in turn, in case the motherboard had a failed PCI slot - no help
I have disabled the Internet Connection Firewall and the McAfee firewall
I have compared the DHCP, DNS WINS etc settings with those on the other new PC - no difference
The position of the router and the computer has not changed, nor is there any new metalwork or electrical equipment, suggesting that there is no problem with the radio link
I have reinstalled the motherboard drivers
I have repaired Windows XP - which resulted in a blue screen of death telling me that Windows had shut down to prevent damage to my PC
I have reinstalled Windows XP from scratch on a different partition - still no joy
I can't ping the router on 192.168.0.1
Ping mypc gives a response on 127.0.0.1 - suggests that I need to adjust software, all DNS, DHCP, WINS etc settings are "assign automatically" or similar.
Can anyone help?

Hi alanf617
to the site m8....
Are you getting a good signal on the site monitoring software ?
Have you tried moving the pc nearer to the router ?
I would allso check that no one else local to you is running a wireless network. You can check this my changing channel on the router and
cards...
